Very flavorful!  Easy to make ahead, have in the fridge and bake right before serving.

ITALIAN SPAGHETTI SQUASH

1 spaghetti squash, about 1 1/2 lbs.
1 med. green pepper, chopped
1 med. onion, chopped
1 tsp. basil leaves, crushed
1 tsp. oregano leaves, crushed
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. each of marjoram, thyme, and sage
2 tbsp. Italian olive oil
3 to 4 med. tomatoes, chopped
2 tbsp. butter
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese

Wash squash, prick with fork. Cook in 400 degree oven until tender, about 40 minutes.

Cook and stir green pepper and onion with seasoning in oil over medium heat until vegetables are tender. Stir in tomatoes. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes. Cut squash into halves, remove seeds and fibrous strings. Remove spaghetti-like squash strands with two forks. Toss with butter and cheese. Spoon tomato mixture over squash.
